Chips in 17 in upset Mitchell amassed 17 points (4-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-12 FT), four rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 76-67 victory over Kansas. Impact Mitchell has had a commendable season so far in his first year with the program, currently averaging a career-best 12.8 ppg despite seeing less minutes than he did last year with Duke. So far, his "dud" fantasy performances have been primarily against inferior competition in lopsided matchups, but nothing could be further from the truth Sunday with respect to Missouri's opponent -- the No. 1-ranked (not for long) Kansas Jayhawks. Mitchell's usage rate was over 32 percent for just the second time all season, with the first being last Tuesday against Cal, when he put up 21 points. Although Missouri runs a deep rotation, look for Mitchell to continue to be featured like this as the level of competition rises.
